Respite

Respite services will be offered at a 1:1 or group level, dependent on the needs of the child, on Saturdays during the school year. We are open on Saturdays from 8am-1pm. This service will be offered 9/16/17 through 6/2/18. Registration will be on a first come first serve basis, and as scheduling allows. Respite will tentatively be offered at both of our center locations, but again this is as scheduling allows.

Requires private payment or prior authorization from the CLTS Waiver for Respite. See policies section at end of brochure for details.

An intake appointment/interview will need to be scheduled for anyone interested in support services that is not a current client of Connections. Please contact Kashena at kvanasten@connectionswi.com or 920-830-0364 with any interest.

My wife and I chose Connections to give our son the needed one-on-one therapy combined with a relaxed non-stressful learning environment. “At home therapy” has gone its limit with our family. Connections came into our life at a perfect time for us.

The past year while at Connections, our son has made positive gains in socialization, on skills with adults and his peers. Overall speaking, although difficult for our son, is moving ahead. Our son really enjoys the Connections facility for learning. Summertime comes with the added surprise of really cool field trips.

My relationship with my son has grown tremendously since he started attending Connections.Connections, I feel like I have a partner in treating his Autism, which allows me to focus on building a stronger relationship with my son. I no longer feel alone in coming up with strategies and ways to help him navigate through the world as he sees it, not as I see it. I feel like I have a son again, not a son that has Autism.

His behaviors and communication have improved so quickly since attending. Since he is better able to express his needs without having behaviors, our home life has improved for the entire family. The staff at Connections is always willing to listen to my ideas and concerns, which makes me feel he is in a comfortable and safe environment.

He loves going to Connections on weekends and asks when he can go back!
